Silent sands

[verse1] A tide rolls in and sand lies still No more wait for a parade ground drill Time compresses to a holding breath the die is cast for what comes next [verse2] A cry rings out and we’re on the charge Sprint lads, dive through a steel barrage No time to think, see speak or fear As a fateful scythe clips a passing ear [chorus] And in the end when we all lie down time will end, we won’t know we’ve gone We won’t remember that we were ever here today Just a roll call of names to take away [verse3] From the beaches of Juno, Gold and Sword Utah, Omaha keep watch, to a silent word Of those who’s place now is quiet eternity We should wait and listen to the endless breaking sea [bridge] Just a halfway place in an halfway light Just a no man’s land, where no man’s right To question, ask, or reason why Fate got a choice, to live or die [chorus] And in the end when we all lie down time will end, we won’t know we’ve gone We won’t remember that we were ever here today Just a roll call of names to take away [verse] You never knew me or will ever get to say my name But I know your glory and you would do the same I wish we do you honour for what you gave that day Across those silent sands of Normandy [chorus] And in the end when we all lie down time will end, we won’t know we’ve gone And in the end when we all lie down time will end, we won’t know we’ve gone
